Hazel Laverne was the firstborn child of seven to Cleta Mae (Yates) and Harry William Myers on a farm near Hardtner, Kansas, where she attended school. She passed peacefully from this life on June 26, 2016, at the age of 93 years, 5 months and 2 days.

Her mother died at the age of 36, leaving Hazel to help provide care for her younger siblings.

She married Lotus Aldon (Red) Case on August 7, 1940, and spent most of her married life in Alva. After raising their two children, she joined her husband in opening and operating the Daylight Donut Shop in 1968, continuing until his death in 1977. She subsequently worked for several Alva retailers including Magnuson Grocery, Holder Drug, and provided assistance to elderly in the community. She was active in the First Baptist Church until her health and vision loss prevented her attendance there. In addition to time with her family, she spent many hours attending to her yard, flowers and home, taking great pride in her efforts. She also loved to travel, taking trips with her children and their families.

She was preceded in death by husband “Red;” grandson Jason Daniel Case; and siblings Virgil, Forest, Bethel, Donald and John.

She is survived by her son Jim Case (Barbara) of Alva, and daughter Georgia Beltz (Fred) of Clinton Township, Michigan; grandchildren Brandon Case, Sara Tandoc and Kristyn Ross; three great-grandchildren, Aurora, Matthew and Lucas; sister Virginia living in Dallas, Texas; and other nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

She is remembered with great love by those who mourn her loss and celebrate her life.

Memorial may be made to the Disabled American Veterans and Alva Church of God.
